Princess Estelle Celebrates Second Birthday

Sweden’s Princess Estelle today celebrates her second birthday. She is the only child of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, and is second in line for the throne.

To mark the occasion, the Royal Court has released three new photographs of the princess taken by Kate Gabor at Haga Palace. The photographs show the princess blowing out candles on a cake, painting and sitting for a portrait. It also appears that Estelle has been given an upgrade on her usual hair accessory – the bow adorning her blonde hair is significantly larger than previously.

Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reports that Princess Estelle is spending her birthday in the Norwegian mountains with her parents. The family reportedly arrived on Thursday and will stay until next week. Princess Estelle received an early birthday present on Friday, a new little playmate, when her aunt Princess Madeleine gave birth to her first child.
